<div><h2 id="description">Description</h2>
<div class="description"><div class="ng-directive-page ng-directive-ngbind-page"><p>The <code>ngBind</code> attribute tells Angular to replace the text content of the specified HTML element
with the value of a given expression, and to update the text content when the value of that
expression changes.</p>
<p>Typically, you don&#39;t use <code>ngBind</code> directly, but instead you use the double curly markup like
<code>{{ expression }}</code> which is similar but less verbose.</p>
<p>It is preferrable to use <code>ngBind</code> instead of <code>{{ expression }}</code> when a template is momentarily
displayed by the browser in its raw state before Angular compiles it. Since <code>ngBind</code> is an
element attribute, it makes the bindings invisible to the user while the page is loading.</p>
<p>An alternative solution to this problem would be using the
<a href="api/ng.directive:ngCloak"><code>ngCloak</code></a> directive.</p>
